About 18 Craigmiller Park
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Craigmiller Park is a three-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 8UW). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 138 m² it's 23.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 13 EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 is 22.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 37.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 18 Craigmiller Park is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL3 8UW. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 18 Craigmiller Park. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 18 Craigmiller Park was lodged in November 2014 at band C and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 18 Craigmiller Park. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL3 8UW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Craigmiller Park is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
